Best bets for Ravens vs. Chargers for Monday Night Football

Best bets for Ravens vs. Chargers for Monday Night Football

Week 12 comes to a close this week in what I will call the “Harbaugh Bowl” as the Los Angeles Chargers, led by Jim Harbaugh, host the Baltimore Ravens, coached by his brother, John Harbaugh.

Below I’ll discuss three of the best props you can make for this game, including ours best bookmaker in PA rates and exclusives Plants in Pennsylvania welcome bonuses.

Ladd McConkey Anytime TD (+135) at FanDuel Sportsbook

Where: FanDuel Sportsbook

Why: Chargers rookie wide receiver Ladd McConkey started the season slowly, but has recorded 19 receptions for 350 yards and two touchdowns in the last four games.

His yardage alone over that span is 57% of his 615 total yards.

Additionally, he has gained over 111 yards in the last two games.

The Chargers will face the worst pass defense in the league here. The Ravens are allowing over 300 passing yards per game, and wide receivers are averaging 1.45 touchdowns.

I expect quarterback Justin Herbert to have a good day and McConkey will be his main man.

Bet: Ladd McConkey TD anytime (+135)

Derrick Henry over 84.5 rushing yards (-115) at DraftKings Sportsbook

Where: DraftKings Sportsbook

Why: Even though Henry is the leading rusher and rushing touchdown leader, he faces a difficult task this week. The Chargers have allowed just one rushing score all season.

However, they are allowing 81.9 rushing yards per game.

Opponents have rushed for at least 85 yards in four of the last five games, and outside of quarterback Lamar Jackson, Henry is the team’s most popular running back.

He has had at least 85 yards in six games this season and had 84 yards in one game.

He averages around 18 carries per game. Whenever he achieved that average in a single game, he finished with 85 yards or more in all but one game in which, as previously mentioned, he had 84 yards.

I would expect Henry to get a ton of work in this game against a tough Chargers defense.

He’ll be gone soon.

Bet: Derrick Henry over 84.5 rushing yards (-115)

Diontae Johnson Anytime TD (+625) at Caesars Sportsbook

Where: Caesar Sports Betting

Why: It’s unlikely, but I’m willing to bet half a unit. Johnson was acquired by the Ravens a few weeks ago and this will be his fourth game.

He only has one catch with the Ravens, but now, entering his fourth game, you’d have to think he should spend a little more time on the field as he’s more accustomed to the playbook.

The Chargers have scored five passing touchdowns in their last two games, all of them going to wide receivers.

Johnson lines up outside and will likely see more Cam Hart than Kristian Fulton. Fulton will likely focus more on Rashod Bateman, as Johnson hasn’t played a big role for the Ravens so far.

If that happens, Hart has allowed two touchdowns this year and they’ve scored in the last three games.

Johnson should have a decent matchup with the defense, allowing a few passes to the position.
